Who is Federico Diaz in Six Feet Under?
The restorative artist with a stake to claim · Fisher & Sons
Federico Diaz (The restorative artist with a stake to claim) is a character in Six Feet Under, part of Fisher & Sons. Federico Diaz is the gifted restorative artist of Fisher & Sons — the man who gives mourners an open casket no one believed possible — and the employee whose name isn't on the sign. Trained by Nathaniel Sr. since his teens, supporting Vanessa and the boys, Rico spends the series fighting for what his hands earned: partnership, respect, a future that doesn't depend on Fisher moods. His pride, his faith and one strip-club catastrophe of his own making give the show its working-class counterweight.
